A brief description of the events of the series
The series focuses on the story of Two individuals who are difficult to imagine together due to their contrasting personalities and reluctance to adhere to traditional relationship patterns. Despite their apparent incompatibility, they nevertheless decide to give something new a chance, entering uncharted territory where love defies conventional norms. Jimmy and Gretchen reject traditional notions of romantic relationships, preferring to avoid excessive sentimentality and convention, striving to create their own unique path to intimacy.
Over time, these two begin to deeply understand the nature of their connection, which turns out to be far more meaningful and powerful than they could have imagined. Gradually, they realize that they represent more than just a coincidence for each other, and their lives take on new nuances thanks to their budding feelings.

Interesting Facts and Notes
- During the casting process for the series, the casting team deliberately avoided superstars, preferring lesser-known but talented actors. Director and producer Stephen Faulk was responsible for this strategy, emphasizing freshness of character and sincerity of performance, striving to give the project a distinctive originality and unique atmosphere.
- The key role of Jimmy was played by Chris Geere, who later admitted that one of the unexpected irritants on set for him was food. His character had a persistent addiction to high-calorie, unhealthy foods, reflecting not only his love of fast food but also the chaotic nature of his intimate life. This left a noticeable mark on the filming process, adding a touch of domestic complexity.
- The first season of the series received rave reviews from critics. For example, Vanity Fair magazine called it "one of the best works of 2014" and described it as "the perfect love story for our time." This recognition from a major publication only increased public attention and underscored the show's success, strengthening its position among its competitors.
- It's important to note that one of the project's creators was director and producer Matt Shakman, widely known for his work on such successful projects as "House M.D." He is also known as the founder of the Black Dahlia Theatre in Los Angeles. His involvement in the series brought professionalism and a keen attention to detail to the project. One of the shining stars of the cast was Aya Cash, who brought Gretchen to life. Her outstanding performance was critically acclaimed, leading to her nomination for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress. This was a testament to her dedication and the depth she brought to her character.
- The intimate scenes between Cash and Gere deserve special mention. All scenes were performed entirely without stunt doubles, adding realism and emotional sincerity to these on-screen moments. This approach highlighted the high level of acting by both performers.
- An interesting creative detail was that the character of Jimmy was not originally conceived as British. However, after meeting Chris Gere, series creator Stephen Faulk decided to make significant changes to the script. The actor's charisma and talent inspired him so much that he decided to adapt the main character's story to Gere's background, making him British. This step added depth and authenticity to the character, making him even more memorable to viewers.
